CAPTCHA = I Must be Going Blind

I must not be human because I failed the CAPTCHA test three times before getting my post to go through on a highly trafficked community site. I wanted to share a couple of the CAPTCHA challenges and have you tell me whether or not I’m blind. It’s gotta be the white text on a light background (excuses, excuses).  I won’t share my guesses just yet until I get a few replies…..

    HZDSFF, ETOGOI? Yes, those are awful… especially when considered in light of Jeff Atwood’s recent report that having any CAPTCHA at all, even a static and easily readable image, is 99.9% effective:

    The first one has to be : HZDSFF and the second one must be EFOGOJ.

    Did they have one of those buttons you can press to hear the CAPTCHA via your audio speakers? Sometimes they do that.
